A Much Needed Vacation

So last month when I went to my friend's wedding, their family asked if I had any vacation time next month to join them in Florida. Luckily I did have some vacation time from work and planned to go on vacation!

Two weeks ago I had the amazing time of going to Florida with my friends and their family. As much as I love NYC, it's really nice to get away from the fast pace and just relax. Which I can definitely say was needed.

I arrived to much warmer temperatures and in open arms! What the vacation taught me was that I am pursuing a lifelong dream, that it's nice to just take a step back and enjoy life. That's exactly what I did during the vacation! I was spending time with friends and not having to think about work or NYC for a week. It was such a blast!

While on vacation I even got to see my Grand Little, who I haven't seen in two years, since him and his family moved to Florida! It was great to catch up with him and his girlfriend.

Below are some pics from that week! I went to the Universal Studios theme parks and Disney World, specifically Magic Kingdom and Epcot! Took a day trip to Cocoa Beach, which a good friend of mine just moved from to NYC and luck would have it was visiting while I was there.

Now I've been back in the city reenergized and ready to continue to pursue my dreams!
